I can't believe the claims being made about si5s on the website http://www.si5s.org/ i think it is very unfair and untrue to say this: "si5s is the first comprehensive writing system for ASL." There are documents in SignWriting since the 1970s! and si5s was developed in 2003. I really need to locate and read Arnold's MA thesis from Galluadet univ. can anyone help me get hold of this work? It's called "A Proposal For A Written System of ASL" thank you! maria > Hmmm, I wonder what would be the best way to do that... > I need to get back in touch with the James and Judy!
